Wow! Love your creativity Ocean Beach (San Francisco)!

First look at Master Grade Barbatos Lupus. This’ll be a “smash the pre-order button” one for me. It’s my favorite Gundam design from IBO.

It’s still an awesome moment, but I spent so much of my viewing of those last few discs wondering when I’d see the events depicted.

Dairugger XV is better than Golion and it was a poor choice to spoil one of the biggest moments of the finale on the cover for third volume of the US DVD release.

Feels like I’m almost there on the RG Perfectability, then I remember all the extra weapon pieces I’ll be making.

Still kinda regret not tracking down that one when I was in my prime of collecting MSiAs.

Of course I’ll always be proud of how I used one of the two I bought from Battle Scarred line.

I was reminded that this past weekend marked 17 years since Providence Anime Conference.

Little more progress on the RG Perfectibility. I was having flashbacks to when I built the PG and how much that torso frustrated me. I think I’m past the worst of it now, but I have a hunch I’ll be displaying this NTD Mode and never transforming it again.

Today is probably the biggest day for the fall anime season/Preview Guide and things are...not looking great on rollout today for Crunchyroll.

Both MHA Final Season's first episode and the new season premiere for Spy Family are both up on Hulu. CR is 9 hrs late on MHA and it lacks EN subtitles

Way too long since I’ve seen this in an actual theater, which might’ve actually have been the first time it came to the Brattle so many years ago.

“Chase growth, not perfection.” Really great advice for any work on models. One of the reasons I like have some old builds around is to see my improvements.

Doug Wilder @nigoki.bsky.social · 22d

…and to think it was a last minute choice to enter this into the straight build category.

LRT: Met this builder at Patcon, the wood detail on his Musha Gundam is insanely good. (As is the whole kit!)

I’ve been asked to write up a quick guide on how I painted this wood effect so I’m going to try to make a reply thread of the steps I used.

It also doesn’t help when I lose 15 minutes searching for a dropped piece.

Doug Wilder @nigoki.bsky.social · 25d

There’s over 50 parts in each one, and I haven’t had much time to build lately but I got the legs of the RG Perfectability finished last night. Here’s hoping I get a little more momentum soon.

(Always a little embarrassed when I see a post of mine getting more traction than usual, only to notice a typo that I can’t correct. 😅)

Doug Wilder @nigoki.bsky.social · 26d

I know I’m a little biased because I once got @tomaznable.bsky.social @patzprime.bsky.social @spiraken.bsky.social to do a cosplay group at Anime NYC 2017 with all the Thunderbolt content they had that year and that our picture got reposted by Ohtagki himself. It remains a favorite con memory.

Doug Wilder @nigoki.bsky.social · 26d

The final volume of Gundam Thunderbolt was been released in Japan today. While I still hope that some day there’ll be more of it adapted into anime, it’s still been a fun ride as a manga and I’ll been keeping an eye on what Ohtagaki does next.
